I'm really looking forward to this, you better not dissapoint me!
Now you don't have to bump/double post and can just update, this doesn't mean I am not looking forward to the hack

[Falaflame]

Another thing on your to-do list, Blazer.

- Change Althares description text.

[Fire Blazer]

Actually, Althares description text is EXACTLY what I want it to be. Yes, it's the same as Matthew's, but Matthew is just such a beast character (one of my favorites) that I had to steal Matthew's eyes for the portrait as well as Matthew's role in the game (Althares has a similar role) and even Matthew's description. XD

Seriously though, you're really good at noticing those small things, Mercenary. I give you props for that. Only one other person mentioned the description, IIRC.

If I have extra time (highly unlikely) I may do the Battle Background patch... but I still have more to do... I will update the list later today once I finish off like 4-5 more items. Plus I have to make a new trailer for the game...

Checklist:

- Death quotes
- Fix Logan's and Emma's portraits
- New Tekun and Althares chibis (this was actually kinda fun, I liked how they turned out XD)
- Battle sprites for Emma and Chapter 15 Boss
- Fix glitch in "Solo" menu as well as fix the palette problem in "Options" menu (somewhat related)
- Revise starting positions for allies in chapter 15
- Edit fortune text
- Change Boss Music for Chapter 14 Boss
- Update chapter 10 ending credits, retest Interlude chapter afterwards
- Any other miscellaneous finishing touches--that is to say, retest, revise, and finalize.

EDIT: More updates, w00t

EDIT2: Finished the Credits (I had more trouble with it than I would have hoped), now I just gotta do some chibi's and battle sprites, playout chapter 15, and then insert death quotes/kill every character to test the death quotes. Then I have to do the following if time permits:

- Insert DS Battle Frame
- Finish DS Battle Background Hack and Apply It
- Insert Even MORE Custom Music (I think 4 songs?)

Then once I feel confident in everything I can go ahead and make videos and release it on Sunday... in the mean time, I have a ton of studying to do... so I'm going to be working 14/4 (14 hours for the next 4 days, including today, although I won't ACTUALLY work all 14 hours I am up lol)

EDIT3: Chapter 14 Screenshots as a thanks to those who keep up with the game:









EDIT4: Finished everything on the MUST DO list, now I have the extra things to do, if I can do them.

- Insert DS Battle Frame
- Finish DS Battle Background Hack and Apply It
- Insert Even MORE Custom Music (I think 4 songs?)
- Rebalance Chapter 13 because it's WAY too difficult
- Fix chapter #'s in the battle preps

ULTRA MEGA BUMP, THE NEW PATCH IS OUT!!!

SEE THE FIRST POST FOR THE EPIC POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StrongJoshua]

When I open tactics heroes I just get a black screen?What's wrong?

[Fire Blazer]

1. The game is called Tactics Universe
2. Make sure you download the latest version, then extract the ZIP archive, then CORRECTLY patch the game (see the instructions and watch my Youtube video if you have trouble)
3. Play it using VBA v1.8.0.3

If you just tried to download it and then put the ZIP into VBA, it won't work...

[Falaflame]

I don't mean to minimod, but damn that sig is big. O_o

ANd Blazer, the hack went from 'fairly challenging' to 'bullshit hard'. Have you seen what you've done to Ch 12 when you get Logan?

Don't mean to nitpick, but I personally think quality>quantity.

[Fire Blazer]

I actually meant to tell him about that sig again but I figure tomorrow I'll just edit it myself since I've already warned him before...

Challenging? Not even, the only chapter that is remotely challenging is chapter 13 (note: NOT chapter 12, chapter 13... >_>)

I'm not even good at Fire Emblem either. But the game isn't going to be as easy as FE11 or FE8 or something... it'd be no fun otherwise.

Chapter 15 is extremely easy, chapter 14 is moderate, chapter 13 is hard, chapter 12 is easy if you don't go for the chests or moderate if you do (you can just have Levion escape and the others auto escape with you) and chapter 11 is easy. People can live with one hard chapter to level up their units. Just don't be so aggressive when fighting, stay on the defensive, recruit Logan, keep to yourself, wait for the enemies to clear up, heal with vulneraries as necessary, don't worry about the village, and when the reinforcements clear up you can finish off the map and the boss and beat the chapter. All it takes is some defense.

[Falaflame]

Speaking of funds, I probably should've jacked the Dragon Axe from Levion and have Kelik hold on to it for extra cash. I would've bought more vulneraries and such.

The chest chapter wasn't all that hard. I just had Levion charge the chests with the chest keys and have Althares (leveled a lot from before) tank the chapter. While the enemies went after Levion and Althares, I was sneaking away with Kelik and finally seized the chapter after getting all the chests.

It's just all the axe-fighters in Ch13 that really gets me. Not only were they bunched up in one spot, but their hit werent usually trustworthy, and thus, I had to use the Lv. 10 Cavalier (forgot his name) and my leveled up Kevin to tank the chapter. Even then they had their limits, so I had to pull them back.

The Peg Knights in that chapter were absolutely unnecessary. I had axe-fighters and bowmen to take care of in the first place.

Besides all that and massive WTD in every chapter, that's pretty much all I had to gripe about thus far.

[boney]

LOL Tactics heroes. That's something I should say after I've
played Sonic Heroes so much. XD

btw, IMG fail on the first post. Plus you copy/pasted the img fail
to multiple forums ._.
This one.

[Fire Blazer]

Grey, I deleted your posts since they were offtopic... same with one of your posts, Merc, but no harm done. [hide]Haha.[/hide]

^Yeah I fixed that on every forum BUT here, so ironic, this is my forum... I'll fix it after this post...

@Mercenary, if you sell his weapons how are you going to have him fight when he rejoins you? *forgot about that, didn't ya...* You get OVER 9,000!!!!! gold at chapter 14 and a blue gem or white gem from the village in chapter 11 and if you're smart you spent money buying weapons for peoplez like Kevin in Siegfried's mode so they are stocked.

[Nitramyte]

This hack is so awesome I just had to make an account to say "This hack is so awesome".

BTW, is there any place that lists the game's secrets or you prefer we find out ourselves? I did find how to access the gaiden chapters through the forums you listed, but I'm wondering about all the other stuff I might miss.

Also, is hard mode fully functional, is it the same as normal mode, or should I just play normal mode?

[Fire Blazer]

Wow, that's really nice of you, Nitramyte. Seriously, you just made my day!

There actually is a hard mode but only for chapters 7-10 (the ones with battle preps in Siegfried's mode). I decided not to make a hard mode for chapters 11-15 but starting on chapter 16 there will be a hard mode for it, and I'll include details on that when the time comes.

Also, for the secrets, I will be posting stuff like that on the Tactics Universe section of the Fire Emblem Shrine at http://www.feshrine.net/tactics/ but I haven't gotten the chance to do that yet because I'm so busy. Tomorrow is my last final and then I plan on working on it, just check in a few days and/or subscribe to my YT videos to keep up to date since I update Youtube a lot.

Thanks for joining again, that seriously made my day, haha, feels good to know I wastedspent all that hacking time for somewhat of a purpose lolol, just teasing

[Fire Blazer]

I'm not sure why but every time I release a new patch people complain that the house doesn't work. I fix it and it works and then I release a new patch after the fix and it stops working... o_O I can't say why it is or isn't working but it's on my list of things to fix for the next patch.

The idea for the game is for it to be professional and like a completely new Fire Emblem game. I love side chapters too which is why there will soon be a lot more. Thanks for all the compliments too, I really appreciate it, and if you're looking for secrets, I've added a bit of information on the official website.

[someonewhodied]

Huh? Seigfried as main character?
Isn't seigfried some sort of 99.5% invincible superhero from some sort of myth? YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!! If the main character is gonna be attacked and damaged, you can't name him after some sort of invincible undamagable dude...

ok, done trolling...anyways, epic

[Fire Blazer]

*Siegfried, not Seigfried, so you fail lol jk

[badkiara]

You're evil Blazer..

Chapter 12, the one with Kelik (finally xD) , Howard moves after a while and if I attack him it's a game over I don't want to use that Paladin with Dragon Axe and Silver Sword but I do want to get the treasure..
